Steve asked Steve Pribish:

What was the biggest lesson you learned from self-publishing your book?

Steve Pribish Pick a good sub-title. When I wrote my first novel, Ikons, I planned to use the title of an ikon as the sub-title. For my first book, I used Ikons: Saint Nicholas the Wonder Worker. The idea being it was the ikon most Russian's carried with them on a sea voyage. Big mistake. It was presented as a religious book about the saint. I missed my targeted audience and upset those who thought they were getting a book about the saint. So I learned to have more descriptive titles for my next two.
